Critics Review
One of CCBC’s Best Books for Kids and Teens, Fall 2021 — Starred Pick
“The illustrations, with their nature-hued palette, simple, sturdy forms, and good use of white space … [are] appealing [and] cozy.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This outside-in approach to an enduringly thorny question is enlivened by gouache and pencil illustrations of a stylized woodland populated by wide-eyed creatures and one wild-haired Human, all busy making their marks on the world.” —Publishers Weekly
“This is an entertaining exploration of art’s various meanings, for creator and viewer, and how it can engage and inspire.” —Booklist
“Outside Art is sure to ignite much stimulating conversation and ideas on this enduring philosophical question, making it a valuable and much-read addition to any home, public and school library. Highly Recommended.” —CM Magazine
